Shopping tip 101
Shopping tip
One of the best ways to stay focused while shopping is to take a
picture with you out of one of your favorite magazines.
If you take an image with you, not only will it help you and a sales
staff to pull together the look you want, but it will also help you
stay focused on what you came to the store for in the first place as
well as save money.
Source your magazines-meaning pull out the information that inspires
you, put it in a binder and recycle the rest. I started doing this when
I was in college and it has been a lot of fun. It also saves time and
space.

Shoes

I love womens shoes. I have no idea why I love them as much as I do. It
is a true obsession.

All the girls in my family seemed to be afflicted with it, thought some
have it more then others.

I thought for the longest it was some weird little oddity that only my
family had.

Bohemian Style

How to get the Boho look

The Boho look is a mismatch of old and new. Like the
European gypsy that this look
was originally based. It borrows pieces of clothing from all classes
and nationalities.

An English peasant top, American jeans, Moroccan
necklace, silver hoops from Thailand, leather jacket from
Chili and a
beret from Basque in colors and patterns that feel good together.

Where
to find clothing that work for this look??? All
over. Department
stores, import shops, vintage shops and art
galleries for starters.

Fashion
Designer
Vivenne
Westwood

She had no formal training in fashion design but as a teacher and
taught until she open up her first boutique in 1971 with then partner
Malcolm McLaren. She started out selling garments to punk rockers and
eventually started designing her own garments.

For nearly forty years Vivienne Westwood has created some of the most
outrageous counter culture anti-fashion designs. Like most artists her
designs have morphed over the years to whatever inspired her at the
moment.
